Tony Romo isn't thinking about an NFL comeback: 'I’m more fulfilled than ever'

NEW YORK — Sorry, Denver Broncos or Jacksonville Jaguars fans, or whichever NFL team you root for that needs a quarterback.

It doesn’t sound like Tony Romo is going to pull a Jon Gruden and go from the booth to the NFL again.

During a CBS Super Bowl LIII press conference on Thursday, Jim Nantz brought up his broadcast partner and asked this question:

“We’re going to have a game this weekend, the Chargers and the Patriots, it’s going to be the oldest combined age of two starting quarterbacks in an NFL postseason game, all-time — 78 years. You’re right in the middle of those two, Philip (Rivers) and Tom (Brady). You could still conceivably playing. So you take this leap of faith … that’s a big thing to let go of, a playing career. What do you feel like now, two years into it? How much fun are you having? Is this everything you thought it would be or more?”

Romo led with a joke: “First off, when you say that, I feel like I should go back and play now.”

But then he got serious:

“I honestly think I’m more fulfilled than ever. It’s a great question. As time goes on, you appreciate what you did in life, you kind of move on. It feels like, at the time when it’s over, it’s like, whoa, this is a big decision. And then all of a sudden you move on and you’re like, this is great. I’m really enjoying where I’m at. You have your family and your kids. I feel very fortunate, let’s say that, where am in life. I don’t really look back. I feel this is exactly where I should be and feel I’m happy.”

So there you have it. Romo is more than fine to stick with broadcasting, and given how much fans enjoy him on the air, they’re happy too.
